[Python-Dev] Old bug still unfixed? [ python-Patches-1183712 ] package_data chops off first char of default package

[Hans Meine]

Hi!

(I first posted this to distutils-sig but was told that distutils is a bit 
neglected there, so I decided to try to push these simple patches in via 
python-dev.)  Lately, a student came to me complaining about an old distutils 
bug which 
bit him:
  http://mail.python.org/pipermail/patches/2006-August/020642.html

The patch is quite trivial and cannot possibly break something AFAICS, so 
could someone please apply it?  (Hmm, now that I write this; we are still 
using python 2.4.4 here, so maybe it has been fixed in between?)

Ciao, /  /
